I donated to Wikipedia.org today.  This was my first venture into microphilanthropy and it was far more absolving than any penance the Catholic Church ever issued upon me.  Every act of arrogance and wrongness I performed was unimportant.  I cut someone off, but it didn’t matter, I donated to wikipedia.  I cursed in front of minors, but it didn’t matter, I donated to wikipedia.  I insulted the competence of a store clerk, but it didn’t matter, I donated to wikipedia.  I punched a nun while intoxicated, but it didn’t matter, I donated to wikipedia.  Donating to wikipedia has become my secular form of indulgences.  I hope that defense stands up in a court of law.
